Would you like to better understand the relationship between self and society? Know how environmental and technological changes are affecting your everyday life? Engage with issues of gender and identity formation? Study life and literature of ancient Greece? Explore the intersection of literature and science, or the nature of memory? The MALS program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn offers students the opportunity to explore these questions and many more in a wide range of courses not typically available in traditional graduate programs. Using an interdisciplinary approach, students in MALS can study topics of historical and contemporary concern utilizing perspectives from a variety of different fields within and across the natural sciences, humanities, behavioral sciences and social sciences.

The MALS program is a full member of the Association of Graduate Liberal Studies Programs (AGLSP)
